Puente Nuevo in Ronda | Andalusia Spain | Watercolor painting

If you have ever visited beautiful Andalusia in southern Spain, you have probably also visited the imposing Puente Nuevo in the city of Ronda. The original painting is painted with watercolour on watercolour paper with beautiful pastel shades and striking light and shadows.
The painting exudes tranquillity and at the same time gives you an immediate and nice holiday feeling. I really enjoyed this Spanish region at the time (at least 25 years ago) and therefore made a painting of the architecture of this special old bridge. The painting has been photographed in high resolution and is available as an Artprint in both small and wall-filling sizes. Think of a painting for above the dining table or as wallpaper in the kitchen, hall, bedroom or as wall decoration in a tapas restaurant or travel agency. Puente Nuevo 'which means new bridge' is a stone bridge that spans the deep gorge Tajo de Ronda with the river Guadalevín as one of three bridges. The gorge is up to 120 metres deep in places. Puente Nuevo is the newest bridge connecting Ronda's Mercadillo (market) and La Ciudad (the old town) districts. Puente nuevo has a height of 98 metres and José Martín de Aldehuela was the architect. In 1740, the bridge collapsed during construction. Construction resumed in 1751 and was completed in 1793.

Ricardo has been painting with watercolors for over 25 years and translates his own travel experiences into paintings. His webshop offers various subjects such as: Illustrative realism, Line drawings, Impressionism, Line & Wash and Modern Abstract painting.

Ricardo is a traditional illustrator and painter. He therefore does not use 'Ai' (artificial intelligence). All his works are handmade and created from his own (travel) experiences, ideas and expertise in the field of painting. His subjects often have a connection with nature, an emotion or a (city) location that he has visited himself.
His motto is: 'To be able to create atmosphere, you must first have tasted it'

Ricardo does everything in a traditional way. From stretching the watercolor paper, sketching and drawing the composition and subject, to painting with watercolors and inks.

All paintings are photographed in high resolution and available in this webshop as wall decoration on various materials and sizes.
